Having a sense of humor prevents us from letting things get us down, I Instead of dwelling on the woes in our life, a good sense of humor will always find something funny and those things will brighten our day.
We know that attending funerals can be sad but I have not attended one that something funny had not happened, I believe that those things happened for a reason, to lighten the sorrow.
Comedians often crack jokes about bad situations that they have experienced and before you know it, the entire room is laughing. We should take patterns after them and find humor in our undesirable situations it will make our heart merrier and we could see that things are not as bad as we thought.

I have a cousin who said that he hardly ever laughs or smile. It shows because he looks older than he really is. I believe that not rejoicing ages us. Having a sense of humor not only makes us feel better but our humor can bring joy to someone else because we are able to make him or her laugh and both would have done something worthwhile to our physical being.
